Royal wedding protesters have lost their High Court claim that they were victims of unlawful searches and arrest and detention.The Met Police argued that the arrests were needed to prevent breaches of the peace or criminality.
Individuals arrested or subjected to police searches are challenging the legality of the policing of the royal wedding in London last year.
As another major royal event fast approaches, the police are being accused of operating an unlawful policy of arresting those with "anti-monarchist" views.
The challenge is being heard by Lord Justice Richards and Mr Justice Openshaw sitting at the High Court in London.
Metropolitan Police lawyers are expected to argue there is no evidence that an unlawful policy was in operation on Friday April 29, 2011 when Prince William married Kate Middleton.
The application for judicial review is being brought by some 20 individuals who were arrested on the wedding day, or were subjected to searches on days leading up to it.
A landmark judicial review of police practices at last year's Royal Wedding will begin later.
Measures examined will include the use of 'pre-crime' arrests - which were employed before the wedding.
The findings will likely impact future policing at upcoming events such as the Jubilee and Olympics.
Controversial police chief Ali Dizaei today lost his High Court bid to have a misconduct hearing postponed.
The 49-year-old Scotland Yard commander, who has twice been jailed for corruption, is due to face an internal disciplinary tribunal in London tomorrow.
In February 2010 he was jailed for four years but the conviction was quashed a year later by the Court of Appeal.
At a retrial this February he received a three-year prison sentence - reduced by the time he has already spent behind bars.
He has since been released with an electronic tag and is pursuing a further appeal against conviction.
Dizaei won his job back with the Metropolitan Police before the retrial, but has been suspended on full salary, pending the disciplinary process.
